hirschsprungs disease

She said it, not me. In Doutzen’s defense, she’s not the only one using expletives (for a cause).

Kicking off with a big bang, Victoria’s Secret Angel and supermodelDoutzen Kroes, is the first of many big names to lend their face to the “Shit Happens” campaign for Hirschsprung’s Community; a community where people/families can connect, dialogue, and share their stories/journeys with others who understand, and educate those who may not be aware of what Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) is. People from all over the globe, from here in North America to down under in New Zealand, are taking note and participating in the community’s efforts to raise awareness about Hirschsprung’s, which affects 1 in 5000 children born with it. According to Liz Crawford, founder of Hirschsprung’s Community and mother of her 3 year-old son Malachi, who was born with HD (visit Roo’s Journey), her inbox is flooded on the daily with requests for t-shirts and how to get involved in the campaign, like Ms. Kroes. If you, or someone you know, would like to follow in Doutzen’s (and other major names who will be revealed in the upcoming weeks) footsteps and take part in this global HD campaign, send an email to Cassie. Stay tuned for the next big name donning the Shit Happens tee for the campaign – she’s a model, too!
